To sum up a 4A page in one paragraph: Karina's biggest trump is the attitude. Attitude "let's do it", "can do", "forward". Attitude is 50% of the job competency, and Karina's attitude truly inspires! In addition, I'd like to note her exceptional organisational skills - everything gets planned out, priorities are being set, plan is being followed. Also, I've received some very good insights from her about human behaviour and psychology in the context of company communication. Tasks are being done thoroughly and with taste - she quickly adapts to needs and can take her own individual decisions, therefore giving less headache to Management. Very logical person with strong work ethic, noticeable loyalty and most importantly - superb attitude :)

Karina is a professional, emphatic, and proactive team member who always brings a positive attitude and support to the team. Our cooperation lasted for less than a year, but in this time, Karina was very helpful to my founder spirit and valuable in handling various tasks with short deadlines in all business-related fields - office administration, marketing, human resources, and finance. Most importantly, she gave valuable advice & feedback regarding our marketing communication, business model, and employee performance related questions that helped me to improve the product offering and save time on decision process through precise meeting notes and timely reminders. On a personal side – Karina is an open and friendly person with a lot of ideas for various activities that engage the team.
